Sunny Leone gives a Classy Reply But still gets Bashed by the Artist

All the fashion and art lovers might be aware about the anonymous Instagram handle called Diet Sabya, that attempts to expose copies of famous designers and artists, calling out anyone they find doing so. And in one of their latest posts, they called out Sunny Leone for copying an artist's work and auctioning it off as charity.

Sharing a photo of the drawings, the post mentioned, "We are all for charity, but stealing an artists’ original work — without credit — and auctioning it off for charity (as your own) is just dirty. Left: original by @malikafavre; right: wtf by @sunnyleone #dietsabya #gandi #copy #art."

Sunny, however, did not keep quiet and replied rather promptly, and wrote, "Hello. Just to give you the correct information , I was given a photograph of this piece of art. I then decided to paint it! At no time did I claim to come up with the idea. I simply painted a piece of art that I saw and loved. It should be taken as a compliment as it was being donated to cancer patients for charity. Nothing more and nothing less. Sorry you don’t like the version that I choose to create while helping children in Need. The painting was not about you or I. It was about trying to help !!!! Best of luck !!!! Keep creating."

However, the original artist Malika Favre finally spoke up and in return bashed Sunny. In response to Sunny's comment, she wrote: "Sunny Leone a credit would have been the minimum. Intellectual property is a thing you know? What if I didn't want a copy of my work to be copied by you and auctioned? The cause is commendable, the attitude not so much."
